When can ingenuity kill?

OK, uncle Ned gave you his old fifth wheel, but you don't have a 3/4 ton truck to tow it. No problem, make your own.

Wonder if he worries about brakes and optional frills like that?

Wow...I had 3 of those S-10 Blazers. Wish I had known I could tow a 5th behind them...

I wonder if he has adequate clearance for steering........that trailer looks pretty close to the roof in back.

I wonder if the tailgate will close and latch ever again.

Bill, not to worry about clearance steering. Front won't steer, he has left/right rear brake steering just like on tractors.

He must have been thinking safety when he added that huge chain and S hook to help support the tailgate

I love the block of wood off of the trailer hitch to help support the fifth wheel hitch.... very ingenious....

The absence of safety chains show a clear disregard for safety.

I remember this picture.

It was the "before" in a "before and after" example of how air lift bags could help a sagging hitch load.

That guy must be a blooming idiot.

I wouldn't dare tow that trailer without
putting new tires on it....

He must have the family all sit in the back of the trailer to balance things out a bit while traveling, maybe has the inlaws out on the hood of the blazer for steerage! It's all good!

I'm going to see that Grand Canyon......and I'm going to do it in style!

.he's been parked a while, when he reinflates his rear air bags the front of the trailer will clear the roof of the blazer. ...no need for safety concerns........note Utah plates. "The ____ State." NOTE to BillNY if that last bit is too contriversial blleep it.
